BACKGROUND Dysregulated anger as part of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can disrupt interpersonal functioning and negatively impact mental and physical health. However, many individuals are not able or willing to access clinic-based services. Self-management interventions, such as web-based programs, can reach those who need treatment but are not obtaining care from clinics. OBJECTIVE This paper describes a pilot study investigating a self-directed web-based anger management intervention, combined with brief clinician-level support, for veterans. METHODS The Anger and Irritability Management Skills (AIMS) course is an eight-session cognitive-behavioral program. This intervention was augmented with weekly phone-based coaching to enhance treatment engagement. Six males living on the Hawaiian Islands enrolled in the study. RESULTS Results broadly supported the feasibility, efficacy, and usability of the AIMS intervention with briefing coaching. Four of the six (67%) participants completed the study. Three of these four (75%) demonstrated statistically significant reductions in anger symptoms. AIMS received high usability ratings. Participants reported phone coaching to be helpful in completing the intervention and learning anger management skills. Individuals who terminated treatment early had higher anger and mental health scores at baseline compared to those who completed the intervention. CONCLUSIONS The AIMS intervention with brief clinician-level coaching performed well across several indicators, including feasibility, usability, treatment engagement, and initial efficacy. Results highlight the utility of self-management interventions along the continuum of care. CLINICALTRIAL pilot study

Abstract Introduction Medication self-management support has been recognised as an essential element in primary health care to promote medication adherence and health outcomes for older people with chronic conditions. A patient-centred intervention empowering patients and supporting medication self-management activities could benefit older people. This pilot study tested a newly developed medication self-management intervention for improving medication adherence among older people with multimorbidity. Method This was a two-arm randomised controlled trial. Older people with multimorbidity were recruited from a community healthcare centre in Changsha, China. Participants were randomly allocated to either a control group receiving usual care (n = 14), or to an intervention group receiving three face-to-face medication self-management sessions and two follow-up phone calls over six weeks, targeting behavioural determinants of adherence from the Information-Motivation-Behavioural skills model (n = 14). Feasibility was assessed through recruitment and retention rates, outcome measures collection, and intervention implementation. Follow-up data were measured at six weeks after baseline using patient-reported outcomes including medication adherence, medication self-management capabilities, treatment experiences, and quality of life. Preliminary effectiveness of the intervention was explored using generalised estimating equations. Results Of the 72 approached participants, 28 (38.89%) were eligible for study participation. In the intervention group, 13 participants (92.86%) completed follow-up and 10 (71.42%) completed all intervention sessions. Ten participants (71.42%) in the control group completed follow-up. The intervention was found to be acceptable by participants and the intervention nurse. Comparing with the control group, participants in the intervention group showed significant improvements in medication adherence (β = 0.26, 95%CI 0.12, 0.40, P < 0.001), medication knowledge (β = 4.43, 95%CI 1.11, 7.75, P = 0.009), and perceived necessity of medications (β = −2.84, 95%CI -5.67, −0.01, P = 0.049) at follow-up. Conclusions The nurse-led medication self-management intervention is feasible and acceptable among older people with multimorbidity. Preliminary results showed that the intervention may improve patients’ medication knowledge and beliefs and thus lead to improved adherence.
